Rocco Plays OF Again; Price Improves To 9-0 As A Pro
Durham 4, Louisville 3. Mitch Talbot picked up his 10th win, striking out 9 in 6 innings and allowing only 1 run on a solo home run. He gave up 5 hits and 3 walks...Scott Dohmann saved his 15th game...Juan Salas pitched 1 inning, striking out the side, but giving up a hit and a walk...Joel Guzman provided all the offense, with 3 hits in 4 at bats, including a pair of 2-run home runs. He has 19 on the year.
Montgomery 9, Huntsville 2. David Price improved to 5-0 in double-A with 8 innings in which he allowed only 2 runs. He struck out 7 and walked none, but was once again touched by the longball. Both hits allowed were solo home runs. After allowing one home run in the first inning, he retired the next 14 batters before allowing his second home run in the 6th inning. He then retired the final 8 batters he faced. Price is now 9-0 in 13 professional starts with a 2.03 ERA and a 38:12 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 45 innings...Rocco Baldelli did not start, but did come on in the 6th as a pinch-hitter. He stayed in the game and played right field for 3 innings, before being pulled for a pinch-hitter in the 9th. He finished 1-2 with a single and did not have any fielding chances in the field...Gaby Martinez and Rhyne Hughes each homered and drove in 3.
Vero Beach 2, Jupiter 0. Wade Townsend made just his second start since being demoted to Vero Beach and tossed 3 shutout innings, striking out 4 and allowing 4 hits and 2 walks...Matt Fields and Christian Lopez were each 3-4, with Lopez driving in both runs.
Greenville @ Columbus (ppd. rain)
Hudson Valley 3, Aberdeen 2.
Princeton 6, Pulaski 1. Tim Beckham had his second straight day off.

- David Price will not fill the opening in the Durham rotation left by the departure of Jeremy Cummings to the US Olympic team. Rather, the Rays have signed Heath Phillips, most recently of the Yankees' organization. Phillips made 6 appearances in relief last year for the White Sox. If Phillips' name sounds familiar, it is because Phillips was the pitcher that hit Evan Longoria and got ejected after Elliot Johnson ran over a Yankees' catcher in spring training.
